Stash and Rain

I used some of my old old stash, that I have not wanted to cut as I liked it so much. Realised it was crazy having it in the cupboard just getting older and older, so thought I'd just cut it into squares and make it into a quilt for my bed. Made most of it in the Christmas holidays, and then finished off the quilt top last weekend, incorporating some of the lovely new Ava Rose.

A Kristen Doran piece inspired me to have another go at a mini quilt for my mini quilt wall. After a wet long cold Sports Day with school, I had to come home and sew, just to calm myself down and get over the dreadful day.

. . . and then I realised the cold and wet had been raining on my garden . . . so I went outside, and had to run back in for my camera. I was so pleased to see my plants a little bit happy and dampness everywhere.

Glad that you finally had some rain...:o)As always love your flowerpictures.. so gorgeous...and I know what you mean with the fabrics... stupid to let them hide in a cupboard...I have to learn by you and make something of them.. love your new quilt!!! :o)

Your plants DO look happy. I love to see them when they're freshly washed like that!I'm loving your quilt, too. Isn't it good to know that those fabrics are not locked away, but can be enjoyed by you every day!Keep showing us all your pretties. They brighten my day. Always.

Lovely, lovely, your blog! It's inspiring and gives a state of peacefulness and tranquillity. Thank you! If you don't mind I'd like to follow your blog and put it on my blogs' list. I love quilts too but have no hability.I'm trying to have my blog in english too, now is only in portuguese.Kisses

What a beautiful quilt-such lovely fabric and the colours are so subtle and spring like. So glad you finally got some rain-your garden will be happy now! We have our sports day in a few weeks-caný wait-not!!! Have a great week:)

I love to watch things grow and nurture them along with kindness and encouragement. I am a school teacher by trade and enjoy my job very much.
